Hello my name is Carmine. The original Carmine mentioned in all editions of Rick Steves books. My father started as a tour guide in Naples in 1952 with a single hope to share the Italian culture with anyone who wanted to experience it. In 1989 I joined my father as a certified escort and guide in Italy and focused on my hometown of Naples and the Amalfi Coast. I have been sharing my hometown for over 27 years now and I have come to see that visiting my region can be very commercial. Most who visit never really got to feel Naples and the Amalfi coast for what it truly was. This region is filled with culture and experiences far beyond the tourist traps most tours limited their guests to. It is my goal for my guest to experience Italy, not just see it. It is one thing to visit my country but it another thing to experience it. I want my guests to experience the Amalfi Coast and live the Italian culture, even if it is only for one day. But he only way to do this is to get off the beaten path, step back into a world that has not been affected by progress or change and immerse yourself in the culture of this region. We breakaway from the tour bus experience and traverse small roads overlooking the most beautiful coast on the Mediterranean Sea. When you visit you will enjoy a true Farm to Table lunch experience. We will walk the terraced hillside and see where your food and wine came from and feel what it is like to be welcomed into the home and restaurant of an Italian family. This is the Italian Culture experience you are looking for. When you experience the Amalfi Coast through my eyes you will see Italy for what it really is. Come, let me show you my hometown. That's only one of the countless reason why you should contact me and find out more about it. I am positive that if you will come along on one of my tours you will absolutely love it, , and at the end of of your tour experience, like all my previuous guests you will refer to the tour as "Carmine's Secret Tour "aNickname that was given to me by Rick Steves . This caused a phenomonea within the travel business along the Amalfi coast. That many are trying to immulate my tour "Carmine's Secret Tour".

Carmine is the BEST! The entire tour was awesome and once in a lifetime opportunity! We would highly recommend!
Our private tour of the Amalfi Coast with Carmine was truly one of the highlights of our trip to Italy. From beginning to end, Carmine was friendly, knowledgeable, professional, and completely focused on making the day special for us. He even managed to keep our 18-year-old daughter fully engaged throughout the entire trip. Not an easy thing to do... His driving was...
We had the best day with Carmine! Everything was perfect. Loved exploring the little villages and Amalfi. Such a perfect day from start to finish. Carmine is very knowledgeable and you can tell he loves his job. I'm a travel agent and will be referring my clients to him because I know they will love him.
Carmine was wonderful and he lined us up with an incredible experience exploring the Amalfi Coast. He brought us to the best photo spots along the way and was always timely on the pickups. If there was a part that was disappointing was that we had to choose between the boat ride in Amalfi and seeing all three spots. I get it because the traffic in Summer is a thing...
